Michael Neuling 3e0ac8c94c Fix building with yosys/nextpnr
Add --no-formal so that asserts are removed by yosys as nextpnr
doesn't like them.

Paul Mackerras 74062195ca execute1: Do forwarding of the CR result to the next instruction
This adds a path to allow the CR result of one instruction to be
forwarded to the next instruction, so that sequences such as
cmp; bc can avoid having a 1-cycle bubble.

Forwarding is not available for dot-form (Rc=1) instructions,
since the CR result for them is calculated in writeback.  The
decode.output_cr field is used to identify those instructions
that compute the CR result in execute1.

For some reason, the multiply instructions incorrectly had
output_cr = 1 in the decode tables.  This fixes that.

Paul Mackerras 0f0573903b execute1: Add latch to redirect path
This latches the redirect signal inside execute1, so that it is sent
a cycle later to fetch1 (and to decode/icache as flush).  This breaks
a long combinatorial chain from the branch and interrupt detection
in execute1 through the redirect/flush signals all the way back to
fetch1, icache and decode.

Paul Mackerras c2da82764f core: Implement CFAR register
This implements the CFAR SPR as a slow SPR stored in 'ctrl'.  Taken
branches and rfid update it to the address of the branch or rfid
instruction.

To simplify the logic, this makes rfid use the branch logic to
generate its redirect (requiring SRR0 to come in to execute1 on
the B input and SRR1 on the A input), and the masking of the bottom
2 bits of NIA is moved to fetch1.

xics: Cleanups and add a simple ICS for use by Linux
4 years ago
Benjamin Herrenschmidt bb54af59de xics: Add support for reduced priority field size
This makes the ICS support less than the 8 architected bits
and sets the soc to use 3 bits by default.

All the supported bits set translates to "masked" (and will read
back at 0xff), any small value is used as-is.

Linux doesn't use priorities above 5, so this is a way to save
silicon. The number of supported priority bits is exposed to the
OS via the config register.

Merge pull request #208 from paulusmack/faster
Make the core go faster

Several major improvements in here:
- Simple branch predictor
- Reduced latency for mispredicted branches and interrupts by removing fetch2 stage
- Cache improvements
  o Request critical dword first on refill
  o Handle hits while refilling, including on line being refilled
  o Sizes doubled for both D and I
- Loadstore improvements: can now do one load or store every two cycles in most cases
- Optimized 2-cycle multiplier for Xilinx 7-series parts using DSP slices
- Timing improvements, including:
  o Stash buffer in decode1
  o Reduced width of execute1 result mux
  o Improved SPR decode in decode1
  o Some non-critical operation take a cycle longer so we can break some long combinatorial chains
- Core logging: logs 256 bits of info every cycle into a ring buffer, to help with debugging and performance analysis

This increases the LUT usage for the "synth" + A35 target from 9182 to 10297 = 12%.

Paul Mackerras ec2fa61792 execute1: Reduce width of the result mux to help timing
This reduces the number of different things that are assigned to
the result variable.

- The computations for the popcnt, prty, cmpb and exts instruction
  families are moved into the logical unit.
- The result of mfspr from the slow SPRs is computed in 'spr_val'
  before being assigned to 'result'.
- Writes to LR as a result of a blr or bclr instruction are done
  through the exc_write path to writeback.

This eases timing considerably.

Paul Mackerras 6687aae4d6 core: Implement a simple branch predictor
This implements a simple branch predictor in the decode1 stage.  If it
sees that the instruction is b or bc and the branch is predicted to be
taken, it sends a flush and redirect upstream (to icache and fetch1)
to redirect fetching to the branch target.  The prediction is sent
downstream with the branch instruction, and execute1 now only sends
a flush/redirect upstream if the prediction was wrong.  Unconditional
branches are always predicted to be taken, and conditional branches
are predicted to be taken if and only if the offset is negative.
Branches that take the branch address from a register (bclr, bcctr)
are predicted not taken, as we don't have any way to predict the
branch address.

Since we can now have a mflr being executed immediately after a bl
or bcl, we now track the update to LR in the hazard tracker, using
the second write register field that is used to track RA updates for
update-form loads and stores.

For those branches that update LR but don't write any other result
(i.e. that don't decrementer CTR), we now write back LR in the same
cycle as the instruction rather than taking a second cycle for the
LR writeback.

Paul Mackerras 09ae2ce58d decode1: Improve timing for slow SPR decode path
This makes the logic that works out decode.unit and decode.sgl_pipe
for mtspr/mfspr to/from slow SPRs detect the fact that the
instruction is mtspr/mfspr based on a match with the instruction
word rather than looking at v.decode.insn_type.  This improves timing
substantially, as the ROM lookup to get v.decode is relatively slow.

This means that the busy signal from execute1 (which can be driven

Benjamin Herrenschmidt f9f18906a3 soc: Rename wb_dram_ctrl to wb_ext_io and rework decoding
This makes the control bus currently going out of "soc" towards
litedram more generic for external IO devices added by the
top-level rather than inside the SoC proper.

This is mostly renaming of signals and a small change on how the
address decoder operates, using a separate "cascaded" decode for
the external IOs.

We make the region 0xc8nn_nnnn be the "external IO" region for
now.

This will make it easier / cleaner to add more external devices.

Paul Mackerras a4500c63a2 dcache: Reduce back-to-back store latency from 3 cycles to 2
This uses the machinery we already had for comparing the real address
of a new request with the tag of a previous request (r1.reload_tag)
to get better timing on comparing the address of a second store with
the one in progress.  The comparison is now on the set size rather
than the page size, but since set size can't be larger than the page
size (and usually will equal the page size), that is OK.

The same comparison can also be used to tell when we can satisfy
a load miss during a cache line refill.
